I begynnelsen var dådet : talet och tystnaderna om våld mellan män från 1700-tal till tidigt 1900-tal
- 2015
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I dagens samhällsdebatt, i media och vetenskaplig forskning, uppmärksammas människors utsatthet för våldsbrott som ett mycket allvarligt problem. Utmärkande för det offentliga samtalet är dess skarpa fokusering på den våldsamme mannen. Mäns utsatthet för andra mäns våld är däremot en problematik som ytterst sällan förs på tal. Här råder en påfallande tystnad. Christopher Collstedt menar i denna bok att rötterna till vår tids tal och tystnader om våld mellan män, djupast sett och för svenska förhållanden, kan spåras tillbaka till genomgripande förändringar inom samhället och rättsväsendet under perioden från 1700-talets slut till 1900-talets början. Dessa omvandlingar möjliggjordes genom framväxten av en modern sekulär världsbild och den politiska etableringen av en naturvetenskaplig, biologistiskt grundad förståelse av mannens natur, kropp och inre liv. Genom djuplodande analyser av bland annat lagar, politiska debatter, rättspsykiatriska och kriminalpsykologiska fallbeskrivningar samt rättsprotokoll och domar söker "I begynnelsen var dådet" historisera och avnaturalisera de tankestrukturer, normer och kategorier som ligger till grund för vår tids offentliga samtal om våld mellan män och vill på så vis bredda debatten på området.

Tibet och den svenska tystnaden : Tibets politiska status och Sveriges ståndpunkt
- 2008
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In this publication I examine the Swedish position concerning the Tibet question from the time when Hedin travelled in Tibet until year 2000. This examination is based on research concerning Tibet's political status and international politics. The study focuses on the period following the invasion of Tibet by China in 1949-1950. The sources employed are documents from the Swedish Foreign Department, letters and records from the Swedish Tibet Committee, records from the Swedish Parliament and articles in the Swedish press. The conclusion is that Sweden's position has not been determined by the actual situation in Tibet, but dictated rather by the position of other countries, who have been motivated by their own colonial, economic and political interests. Sweden's own political and economic interests and its lack of interests in Tibet have played a role. When human rights violations were at their peak, Sweden made no official declarations. On the contrary, it abstained from voting in the UN General Assembly in 1965. The Swedish policy has been influenced by an early recognicition of the PRC and attempts to have it represented in the UN. The so-called Aspen Operation , which constituted an attempt to mediate in the Vietnam War may also have affected the Swedish policy.

The justifications of piracy : Differences in conceptualization and argumentation between active uploaders and other file-sharers
- 2014
-
In: Piracy. - Los Angeles, CA : Litwin Books. - 9781936117598 ; , s. 217-239
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- By employing a mix between qualitative and quantitative methods, we explored the ways in which file sharers themselves conceive of the future of “piracy.” A content analysis of a selection of open answers from the Research Bay study (a global file sharing survey conducted in collaboration with file-sharing site The Pirate Bay in April, 2011, with more than 75,000 respondents) revealed significant differences between active uploaders and the much larger group of respondents who regularly download files but never upload. Tropes of “community” were not particularly abundant in this corpus. The biggest singular tropes were those of unstoppability/technical resilience (“File-sharing won’t be stopped”); convenience/availability/supply; skepticism/hostility towards governmental intrusion; and—surprisingly—the trope that file sharing will eventually be integrated with the market. This latter trope was particularly common among the non-uploaders (representing the majority of Pirate Bay users) compared to the dedicated uploaders. The non-uploaders also appeared to be more disposed towards a generic belief in the progress, evolution, and a potential convergence/assimilation of technology.

Religion in the school context : Freedom from or of religion?
- 2016
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The presentation discusses how different models of learning religion promote respect for the right to freedom of religion or belief. Three different models of learning about religion are offered in Estonian schools: there are schools with no Religious Education, others have inclusive Religious Education, and there are also religiously-oriented schools with a confessional approach to teaching religion. The article draws on data of the research done in the framework of REDCo project (the main project 2006-2009, replicative study in 2012) and also CARDIPS project (2014). The research projects studied students' views about how they see religion in education. The samples consist of students from different Estonian regions and different experience of learning about religions. Their attitudes to two questions are studied. First, how do students differ in their own attitudes about the need to respect a person who is of a different religion? Second, what do young people think about religious freedoms in the school context? The results of the study call out for discussion of practicing religious freedom in school and practices what may best contribute to a tolerant society.

The Paradox of Openness : Transparency and Participation in Nordic Cultures of Consensus
- 2014
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The ‘open society’ has become a watchword of liberal democracy and the market system in the modern globalized world. Openness stands for individual opportunity and collective reason, as well as bottom-up empowerment and top-down transparency. It has become a cherished value, despite its vagueness and the connotation of vulnerability that surrounds it. Scandinavia has long considered itself a model of openness, citing traditions of freedom of information and inclusive policy making. This collection of essays traces the conceptual origins, development, and diverse challenges of openness in the Nordic countries and Austria. It examines some of the many paradoxes that openness encounters and the tensions it arouses when it addresses such divergent ends as democratic deliberation and market transactions, freedom of speech and sensitive information, compliant decision making and political and administrative transparency, and consensual procedures and the toleration of dissent.
